NOT the frame, JUST the door.

I'm guessing either a bank safe door or a nuclear blast resistant door.

No, not bank vault. They weigh a lot more.

It's a radiation shield door for high dosage radiation. One skin is 3/8" plate steel, one skin is 1/4" plate steel, and the core is 2" thick lead.

Is it medical?

I usually have to put the powered operators on those. Imaging techs hate long swing times, so they have to move pretty quickly. It takes a decent motor/gear assembly to do that. Most of them in that size range are Brookfield operators.

And don't let that thing get away from you.

There was a gent locally that got killed by one several years ago.

In reply to Toyman01:

Definitely has a power operator. Also has over $200K worth of concrete and welded steel holding it in place.
